I'm almost three years post op from RNY. I had no complications. I lost about 65 pounds. I have gained 35 back. I am diabetic. I still don't have the results that I wanted when I embarked on this journey. I followed the "rules" and I am a "health nut!"

I'm not looking for an easy weigh about but weighing 240 still isn't a healthy weight. I'm considering a revision! I'm done with food. I hate it! I just want a normal life. However, if I have revision surgery I definitley need someone who's had lots of expierence doing it. I don't want to die trying to be healthy and thin. Where are all the RNY to DS Revision folks?

Any suggestions, experiences or words of wisdoms, anything! Thanks in advance!

You may want to go over to the DS board and repost there. There are a lot of revisions there. Chris

There are several DSers who are RNY to DS revisions. The 2 that come to mind are Kryst and Dawn (starry1st). In addition, there are several that are active there now that are seeking this type of revision. There are only a few surgeons in the country that are qualified to do this procedure.....so the best thing to do would be to get the name of the closest one of these surgeons and go for a consult.

Have you ever had your revision to ds. I live in new york and seriously considering ds after weight gain. I am a ru-n-yer from 1998 and have gained 50 pounds.

Thanx,Randy
